Hi, I've managed to make a few cards today and thought I'd better get 1 posted before it gets too late.
I've used a die I bought ages ago and a new stamp set that I'm inking for the first time.
Never before used stuff, perfect for the NBUS challenge at Darnell's blog.
She's celebrating her 500th follower with this fun challenge. It's anything goes with a friendship theme
Pop over and have a look, Darnell always has an entertaining story with her fabulous cards.
I die cut the blossom sprig from watercolor paper and used distress ink to colour the whole thing green. I cut some more flowers from the leftover scraps, sponged them blue then stuck them on top. Much easier than trying to colour with markers. Using snippets means I can visit the playground over at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
At Time Out Challenge the theme is Summer with an optional twist of flowers. Blue skies, green grass and yellow sun, that made my colour choice easy.
Materials used:
Memory Box honeysuckle blossom die; watercolor paper; Stampin Up Field Flowers stamp; distress inks; wink of stella pen.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for visiting,
